Chapter 52: Applying for a Martial Arts Instructor!

  Shenbing Domain is a creation of Huang Long Ye Tian Qin, used to defy the heavens and slay gods. It has been verified and has detailed records. To surpass this heavenly-defying martial skill, it's really hard to imagine what kind of martial skill that would be.

  Qin Zheng was so spoken by Yan Tingyu that he felt a little unbearable.

  Warriors naturally all hope to have extraordinary and transcendent martial skills as their trump card.

  "I don't know what it is either." said Yan Tingyu.

  "Unbelievable, you don't know, what are you telling me, I'm probably going to be up all night now." Qin Zheng looked outside and muttered, "Why isn't the rain stopping yet? I need to go to Longshi Arena."

  Yan listened to the rain pattering and chuckled out loud, "I think this rain will last for two or three days."

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, this rain lasted for three whole days.

  During this time, Qin Zheng and his wife lived in a guest house.

  Qin Zheng spent every day either practicing or going out to gather some information.

  The situation in Mingluo City is the same as what Yan Tingyu learned when she came here half a year ago, with no changes, still a three-legged balance of power, and the Longshen Martial Arts Academy still has a recruitment notice for martial artists at the entrance.

  On the fourth day, after a clear sky, Qin Zheng and Yan Tingyu arrived at the Longshi Arena.

  There is a person in charge of reception at the entrance of the dojo.

  After inquiring and understanding that Qin Zheng was there to apply for the position of Martial Arts Instructor, the receptionist was visibly taken aback, looking at Qin Zheng's face with a puzzled expression, but did not show any impatience, and still led Qin Zheng to the Recruitment Hall.

  The so-called Zhaoxian Hall is a separate small courtyard inside the Longshen Taoist Temple.

  The person in charge of the Zhaoren Hall is a middle-aged man named Zhao Nan, who is the younger brother of Daozhu Zhao Xi and also a well-known master of the Longshen Taoist school, with a high level of Qi Wu Jing. This was all the information Qin Zheng had gathered over the past few days.

  "Are you here for an interview?" Zhao Nan's eyebrows furrowed as soon as he saw Qin Zheng, completely unmasking his skepticism.

  "Uh-huh."

  Qin Zheng also knew that in a small city like Mingluo, young people who could reach the realm of Qi Wu were rare. To avoid drawing special attention to himself, he still used the method of hiding his realm in the initial stage of Qi Wu, as described in the subtle mysteries of the Five Dynasties' Yao Huang's discovery of his bloodline.

  "Are you here to apply for the position of Preparatory Martial Artist?" In Zhao Nan's words, a Preparatory Martial Artist referred to those who were at least at the high level of the Forceful Martial Realm and had hopes of breaking through to the Qi Martial Realm.

  "No, I'm here to apply for a martial arts instructor position." Qin Zheng smiled calmly.

  Zhao Nan smiled, "You know that in our Longshi Martial Arts Hall, only those who have reached the Qi Wu boundary are qualified to become martial artists."

  Qin Zheng nodded, "I know."

  "Then why are you here applying for a martial arts instructor position?" Zhao Nan asked in confusion.

  "I'm a martial artist, of course I've come to apply for the position of Martial Master." Qin Zheng saw Zhao Nan's completely bewildered face and almost burst out laughing.

  "Hey little brother, don't make fun of me. This is the Dragon Lion Arena, not just anyone can come here to cause trouble." Zhao Nan was getting a bit angry.

  Under the eaves, Yanzhi couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile secretly as she listened to the rain.

  Qin Zheng said helplessly: "The Longshi Arena has a special verification of the applicant's strength, whether I am qualified to become a martial artist, it will be known after verification."

  Zhao Nan finally took Qin Zheng seriously. The Dragon and Lion Club's verification of applicants' abilities was a set process, not something that could be cheated by temporarily raising one's boundary with some special item. "Little brother really wants to verify?"

  Qin Zheng nodded.

  "Please come this way." Zhao Nan's eyes became scorching hot.

  As soon as he came out of the Zhaoren Hall, he entered a courtyard next door. There were some people chatting idly here, and when they saw Zhao Nan arrive, they all quickly perked up.

  Zhao Nandao said: "Someone came to apply for a martial arts instructor position, but wasn't prepared."

  As soon as they heard this, they looked back at Zhao Nan and found that it was just two young men and women, both of whom were under the age of twenty. They seemed hesitant and clearly suspected that they had misheard.

  "What are you still dazing about? Go quickly." Zhao Nan shouted, his heart also secretly laughing, he himself had just been the same as these people.

  Before long, someone brought a monster.

  Zhao Nan pointed at the cute little beast, "This is a testing Yuan Beast for true yuan purity. Any true yuan that relies on external objects to temporarily raise one's cultivation level will contain many impurities, and it can all be sensed by this beast."

  The Yao Yuan beast is a relatively unique species among the demon beasts, which advances by devouring human true yuan. However, this type of demon beast can only reach the Li Wu realm in its lifetime and it's very difficult for them to truly become powerful. They are generally used to test the purity of true yuan. All these things were clear to Qin Zheng.

  The purity of Zhenyuan is not only related to a person's combat strength, but also has potential that can serve as indirect evidence.

  Qin Zheng looked at the white-haired Youyuan beast and gently stroked its head with his hand.

  The demon yuan beast immediately showed a gentle appearance, and rubbed Qin Zheng's palm with its head, occasionally sticking out its tongue to lick his palm.

  "Little thing, quite sensitive." Qin Zheng smiled and said.

  The Primordial Beast is repelled by impure True Essence. If Qin Zheng's True Essence was not pure, he would have been attacked immediately; now the manifestation proves that his True Essence is very pure.

  "Little brother's true yuan is so pure." Zhao Nan saw the demon yuan beast's performance and also showed a stunned expression. He was clear that even if it were his own true yuan, this demon yuan beast didn't have much affectionate behavior, at most it wasn't repulsive.

  "It's okay, I guess." Qin Zheng said calmly.

  In terms of the purity of Zhenyuan, among all the martial veins, only the three major martial classics can cultivate a pure and unadulterated Zhenyuan, without any impurities.

  Zhao Nandao said, "Next, we'll see the little brother's true strength. The Qi Wu boundary can become a martial artist, but it also needs to test actual combat power, experience, and utilization of the environment, etc. This kind of test has some danger, if you can't pass, the dojo won't be responsible, has the little brother thought it through?"

  "I've thought it through." Qin Zheng nodded.

  Then Zhao Nan led the way, Qin Zheng followed, and others also followed behind, they all wanted to see if this young man was really in the realm of Qi Wu.

  Passing through the hall, crossing the Moon Gate, behind it is the martial arts arena of Longshen Daochang.

  At this moment, there were four or five hundred people on the martial arts field, divided into ten small groups, each with a martial artist guiding their practice. Qin Zheng swept his eyes across the scene, and saw that the youngest of these martial artists looked to be around thirty-six or thirty-seven years old - not one of them was young. His and Yan Tingyu's arrival was particularly eye-catching, especially since Zhao Nan, the person in charge of the Zhaosheng Institute, had personally escorted them here, causing many people to stop their practice and turn to look over.

  "It's Elder Zhao Nan again, someone has come to apply for a martial arts instructor position."

  "It doesn't seem like it, you see, following Zhao Nan Lao is just two young boys, are they applying to be martial artists?"

  "I also don't think so, there must be something going on, who has such a small Qi Wu realm master."

  "It's really those who are applying for the position of martial arts instructor, they've gone to the trial training ground, go take a look quickly."

  "Is this really the boundary of youth's vigor?"

  A group of people rushed to the training ground.

  It was those martial artists who also came to the outside of the trial grounds with surprise.

  Zhao Nan stopped at the edge of the training field and asked, "Will you choose to fight against humans or against demonic beasts?"

  "Fight with people." Qin Zheng said.

  "The demonic beasts in the realm of Qi Wu are inferior to humans, and their intelligence is not on the same level as humans either. Are you sure you want to go to war with them?" Zhao Nan asked again.

  Qin Zheng nodded, he didn't want to show off his strength too much, nor did he want people to think that he had barely entered the Qi Wu realm and was being overly underestimated. This way, he could have a certain status in the Long Shi Arena, which would be of great help in obtaining the Divine Furnace, and it was also a decision made after discussing with Yan Tingyu.

  He immediately entered the trial field.

  Standing in the center of the scene.

  "Qiao Long, you go." Zhao Nan looked around and finally fixed his gaze on a burly man.

  That burly man, Qiao Long, grinned and entered the training arena, standing ten meters in front of Qin Zheng. "Don't worry, kid. Since you're so young, I won't go easy on you."

  "I won't go easy on you either." Qin Zheng looked at Qiao Long, whose head was quite large, about 1.9 meters tall, a typical muscular man.

  "Hmph, quite confident, huh? Do you know that I, Qiao Long, am the undefeated in the Qi Wu realm's primary boundary within Ling Luo City?" Qiao Long said with a smirk.

  Facing Jiao Long's pride, Qin Zheng simply flipped his left hand over and extended only his right hand, saying in a calm tone: "Let's use just one hand then."

  Boom!

  People outside the training ground exploded first.

  "Who is this kid, so arrogant."

  "One hand challenges Jiaolong, self-inflicted suffering."

  "Qiao Long was originally a good fighter and as the youngest master of the Taoist temple, he had always been arrogant. This kid has provoked him, he's in trouble now."

  "At the very least, it's broken arms and legs."

  Everyone in the Longshen Arena knew Qiao Long's temperament, and when they saw Qin Zheng behave like this, they all shouted out, with most people's gazes at Qin Zheng carrying a "you're going to be unlucky" meaning.

  It was a surprise for Zhao Nan to hear that, but when he saw Yan Tingyu's calm expression following Qin Zheng, his heart moved, and perhaps there would be unexpected results.

  "Kid, you've managed to infuriate me." Qiao Long said coldly, "I've decided to break the leg in the middle as punishment."

  "Let's fight if we must, what's with all this nonsense?"

  Qiao Long was furious, "You're asking for a beating, kid."

  He charged forward like a fierce bull, his feet pounding the ground with a dull thud, raising his massive fists and bringing them down towards Qin Zheng's face with a burst of fierce wind.

  To speak of Qiao Long's initial stage of Qi Wu Jing, this one punch was enough to make Qin Zheng admit that this person's combat strength was indeed not ordinary, and couldn't be compared to an average Qi Wu Jing beginner. It's just that he encountered his own kind.

  He calmly watched the fist coming, and heard the roar of many people from the Longshen dojo beside his ear. Qin Zheng smiled at Qiao Long, suddenly stretched out his right hand, and gently probed forward.

  Bang!

  Qin Zheng's hand grasped Jiao Long's fist, and with a sudden burst of force, the bones in Jiao Long's right hand made a "cracking" sound. Before Jiao Long could even let out a pained cry, Qin Zheng swung his arm and sent Jiao Long flying out of the training arena.

  Splash!

  The whole scene was silent and still.

  Qin Zheng walked up to Zhao Nan and said, "I won."
